Abstract

Anorectal malformations affect 1 in 4000 to 5000 newborns and an associated recto-urinary fistula is common in males. This is usually in the form of recto-urethral fistula and rarely a recto-vesical fistula. Extremely rare is an associated combined recto-vesical and recto-urethral fistula. This report describes a male newborn with high anorectal agenesis associated with a double recto-vesical and recto-urethral fistula.
